Hi Mansur, I was born and raised in Michigan and have lived most of my adult life in Ohio except for 7 years in Washington DC when I worked for the Executive Branch (Postal Regulative Commission) of the Federal Government (I will get a pension from those years when I retire... LOL). Anyway, I have always voted in Ohio (absentee ballot when needed) except my first election in Michigan as an undergraduate college student. OH was a battleground state for most of my adult life as was Michigan! Ohio is now one, if not the most/worst, Authoritarian states in the U.S. that not many knew was the case including me! Obama won in Ohio in both 2008 and 2012.

Anyway, I was somewhat active (and for Hillary in 2016 locally and at my university) and, of course, was devastated when Trump won in 2016. Since then I have become much more active but only recently realizing the rapidly changing fabric of Ohio, along with many others, to Authoritarianism!! But there are indeed more and more of us now who are active and aware and who are attempting to widen the "crack" in the Buckeye state. And that is definitely stronger and increasing even more since the 2022 Mid-Term elections and that was what I was writing about in Lucid. Thanks for asking and I will try to keep the

"Big Picture" people of Lucid always posted!!!
